HEEL-PLATE.

SPECIFICATION forming part oi Letters Patent No. 382,694, dated May 15, was.

Application filed January 20, 1888. Serial No. 261,429.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be itlknown that I, CHARLES DONEY, residingat Ottawa, in the county of Oarleton,Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements on Heel-Plates for Boots or Shoes, (for which I have received Letters Patent of the Dominion of Canada, dated December 22, 1887, N o. 28,226,)0f which the following is a description.

This invention relates to that class of heelplates adapted to be applied to the face of or countersunk into the heel of a boot or shoe; and the invention consists ofa heel-plate provided with a sharp rim projecting from the exterior of its face along its edges and-with calks between the rims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved heel-plate, and Fig. 2 a sectional view of the same.

A indicates a plate,which is provided on its under face with a series of pins or spurs, B,

by which itmay be secured to the boot or shoe; or the pins or spurs may be omitted and the plate provided with one or more holes to receive 'screws which shall pass through the plate and into the heel. These two methods of fastening the plate to the heel are common, and no claim is made by me herein to any I 0 special means for fastening the plate in position.

1N0 model.) Patented in Canada December 22, 1887, No. 28,2;6.

possible, as the sharp edges of the rims and the calks embed themselves into the ice.

I am aware of British Patent No. 904 of 45 1858, in which is shown and described aheelplate for boots or shoes having along its edges a flat raised rim, and sucha construction I disclaim.

Having thus described my iuventiomwhat I claim is The improved heelplate herein described, having a sharp rim along its edges and sharp calks between the rims, the calks being approximately of the same height as the rim-s.
